Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis cover

This updated edition offers a comprehensive approach to managing multiple sclerosis through a blend of medical treatments and lifestyle changes. Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis is a vital resource for patients and healthcare providers alike.

The second edition of Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis presents a thoroughly updated, research-based approach to managing the challenging neurological condition known as multiple sclerosis (MS). This comprehensive guide emphasizes a combination of medical treatment and significant lifestyle changes that can greatly enhance the quality of life for those affected by MS. With the advancements in understanding this condition, the book offers hope to thousands who once faced an uncertain future filled with decline and disability.

Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis is not just a program; it represents a paradigm shift in how individuals diagnosed with MS can approach their health. The author, Professor George Jelinek, developed a detailed seven-step recovery plan grounded in extensive medical research after his own diagnosis in 1999. This plan has been continually refined through international clinical studies, demonstrating its effectiveness in helping individuals lead healthier, more active lives despite their diagnosis.

This invaluable resource serves as a guide for those newly diagnosed, long-term patients, and even family members seeking to understand MS better. Additionally, it is an essential tool for healthcare professionals looking to provide informed and compassionate care. By following the principles outlined in Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis, readers can take proactive steps toward recovery and improved well-being.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis to my patients, but also to my friends and colleagues. -- Professor Gavin Giovannoni, MBBCh, PhD, FCP (S.A., Neurol.), FRCP, FRCPath, Chair of Neurology, Blizard Institute, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry
Overcoming Multiple Sclerosiscombines hard scientific evidence with practical advice and compassion. It will be of benefit to nearly everybody affected by MS and I heartily recommend it. -- Dr Peter Fisher FRCP, Physician to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and Director of Research, Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine
I gave it to a friend with MS who said it was the most useful book she had read. "Jelinek is perfectly placed to analyse data and research and to evaluate their worth. I found it invaluable." * Mail on Sunday *
As a physician and the spouse of someone with multiple sclerosis I feel that this book contains much wisdom and guidance for achieving one's greatest potential for healing when confronted by the reality of this disease. -- Bernie Siegel MD, author of Faith, Hope and Healing and 365 Prescriptions for Living
